The simple procedure of my Nb2o5 nanoparticles synthesis is as follows.
The precursor NbCl5 and ethanol is mixed and to this solution P123 is added. then kept in a hot plate (50 deg) for a week. Then calcined at 650 deg for 3 hours. I observed there is a slight lower angle shift (21.6 deg) when compared to the the one synthesised where the calcination temperature is 500 deg (22.7).
